According to the laser sodium guidesatellite full emission link compensation system, distortions of sodium laser, abeam expanding transmission light path, and atmosphere turbulences are compensated by using a single deformable mirror,a double wave front detector and another laser with a different wavelength from the sodium laser to ensure that the sodium laser has good distribution characteristics and sodium guide satellite lightspot qualities when the sodium laser reaches a sodium layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of adaptive optical systems, in particular to a laser sodium guide star full-launch link compensation system. Background technique [0002] Sodium laser guide star technology refers to the use of a beam of laser whose central frequency can resonate with the transition line of sodium atoms to excite the sodium layer at a height of about 92km from the ground to emit resonant backscattered light, which is used as the guiding light source of the adaptive optics system and has sampling Highly advanced advantages. However, in practical applications, the wavefront of the sodium guide star laser beam will be degraded by interference from two aspects. First, when the laser power density is high, the thermal distortion of the optical element and the distortion of the optical path inside and outside the laser cavity caused by mechanical deformation will lead to distortion of the wave front when the laser oscillates an...

Problems solved by technology

First, when the laser power density is high, the thermal distortion of the optical element and the distortion of the optical path inside and outside the laser cavity caused by mechanical deformation will lead to distortion of the wave front when the laser oscillates and transmits in the optical system. Leads to poor beam transmission quality factor

The second is that the laser will be disturbed by atmospheric turbulence during the upward transmission process, the
